For further comprehension of the invention,

I and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to theiOllOWing description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended rial part of this disclosure:

' with the asse blage-here of ,snehnatnre-astobe usable a a t a n d pietureier han i or the display, or as.,a panel or incorporation-inn larger article a ide et subdivisi n the e Fig. 2 is, on an enlarged scale, a transverse section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a top plan View of the transparent sheet uppermost in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a similar view, showing the transparent sheet next below the one just mentioned.

Fig. 5 is a similar view, showing the lowermost of the three transparent sheets shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a similar view, showing an opaque bottom sheet.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a transparent sheet carrying on both sides locally built up elevations.

Fig. 8 is a transverse section, takenon the line 8-8 of Fig. '7.

Fig. 9 is a horizontal section, taken on the line 9-9 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 10 is a side elevation, looking toward the left in Fig. 9.

Fig. 11 is an end elevation, partially broken away and partially in section, showing a manner of assemblage modified from that of Figs. 1 and 2.

Referring to the drawings more in detail, the assemblage of Figs. 1-10 is illustrated as including a rectangular frame, made up of side and end stretches joined at mitred ends l6, an opaque backing I1, and any selected plurality of transparent sheets, the latter in the present case shown as three, these marked l8, l9 and 2B. The backing may be of any appropriate material, and the frame may be of wood, metal, or a plastic.

A very simple floral representation is shown in Fig. l. The petal components are designated A, B, B, C, D and D, and the remaining components, leaf and stem elements, are designated All around the frame IS the same has three grooves as shown in Fig. 2, each for receiving and positioning one of the sheets [8, l9 and 2D.

, Before the frame is assembled thus to mount I said sheets, the latter are given their assigned components of the representation, in any of the ways hereinabove explained or in any other way pursuant to the'invention. Where the backing H is to carry on its upper side any of said components, the latter are applied thereto before attaching said backing, which attachment maybe by means of brads, an adhesive or in any way desired.

As shown in Fig. 3 when taken in connection Qwith Fig. 2, the petal A is added to the underside Z of the sheet I8 {as shown in Fig; 4 when taken I in connection with Fig; 2, the petals B and B are 1 added to the upper side of the sheet l9 and the petal C is added to'the underside of the same sheet; as shown in Fig. 5 when taken in connection with Fig. 2, the petals D and D' are added to f the upper side of the sheet Zfl'and the stem and leaf elements E and E are added to the underside of said sheet; and as shown in Fig. 6 when taken in connection with Fig. 2, the stem and leaf elements F. and F are added to the upper side of the opaquebacking ll.

As will be understood, a very simple. subject has been f chosen f'f'qr illustration, to clarify the drawing and simplify the description; but subjects or representations having multitudinous components may be produced in accordance with the principles of invention. For instance, a large number of transparent sheets may be employed.

' Also, the background may be an elaborate one,

and of many colors; and, also, with localized sculpturings according to the invention.

Referring to these sculpturings, some exam-' ples of the infinite variety in which they may be shaped are indicated in Fig. 2. In the present case, such sculpturings are shown as on both sides of the transparent sheets I9 and 20, but merely on the underside of the transparent sheet 18. Note, however, that, by way of example, the coloring matter or other medium added to establish the petal D is applied merely to the flat surface of the sheet 20, as contradistinguished from transparent sheet S, as, for instance, any one of the sheets l8, l9 and 20, having on its upper side a'plurality of irregularly conformed elevations 2| and on its under side a plurality of irregularly conformed elevations 22.

The sculpturings, whether of intaglio or cameo type, may be left in natural color, where appropriate, or given appropriate colorings, by use of any suitable media and in any convenient way.

It will be noted from Fig. 4 that the petal C is shown as partially overlapping a portion of the petal B. Such overlapping makes it less tedious properly to add a representation component of exactly the required outline all around,

and prevents the representation anywhere over the same asa whole for giving the appearance of having a gap therein when the same is viewed at an acutely oblique angle. Of course, a component to overlie another will be accurately outlined where it projects beyond the latter; but

any component underlying another can be extended as desired into a space to below that to be'occupied by an overlying component.

In Fig. 6, the dot and dash rectangle represents the frame opening.

In Figs. 2, 9 and 10, the means for using perfume as aforesaid is shown as comprising a recess 23 in the frame l5, of a size to accommodate a suitable wick 24, as a block of felt. Such wick 24 is held in the recess on closing a lid 25 ningedly mounted as at 26. The lid may be lifted, as to replenish the perfume in the wick, by fingernail engagement with the lid as at 2.1; and when the lid is closed, the odor desired is emitted through suitable apertures of the lid,

1 as indicated at 28.

Referring to Fig. 11, the modified arrangement here shown illustrates a way which has been found desirable to provide a light-weight and relatively inexpensive assemblage. An open-topped box 29, as of cardboard, and with its bottom 30 for providing the equivalent of the opaque sheet I9, is shown as having three transparent sheets 3|, 32 and 33 positioned as desired therein by washers 34, 35 and 36. In this case, a fourth transparent sheet, 37, acting as a cover, is desirably of glass. The washers 34 and 35 may well be of cardboard, and the washer 36 may'well be of a somewhat cushiony material such as cloth matting. All the parts are established as a single assembly, by adhesively applying a strip 38 of passe partout or the like, all around the box 29 and so as to somewhat marginally overlap the sheet 31, as shown.

The structure of Fig. 11 also shows a further feature of the invention, which may be employed in any embodiment thereof. This feature is illustrated in the case of the sheets 3| and 32, which, it will be noted, are arranged in face against face relation. Such arrangement may be advisable, at one or more depths in the assemblage; and, furthermore, one or more representation components on the underside of the upper of these two sheets maybe spaced depthwisely of the assemblage from one or more representation components on the upper side of the lower of these two sheets, to a sometimes desirable very small extent, as, for example, by

having one or more of the said components ofa sheet or of both sheets wholly or partially inclusive of a sculpturing of the intaglio type.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is fications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

Means for perfuming the air surrounding a picture frame enclosing a picture of a flower with a scent resembling that of the illustrated the outer face of said cover flush with the side of the frame, the frame having a notch at the face bottom end of said cover by which a grip can be had on said cover for pivoting it to an open position to expose said wick for resaturation. 7
